Prologue!!!!

Once, a long, long time ago, there were two people in love. But their love would not last. For a goddess of the Earth hated the love that this goddess and mortal shared. She sent a Scorpion to kill the goddess and leave the man to wallow in his despair until the day he died. But the man, Orion, gave his life to save the goddess. She loved him so much, she turned him into a Constellation so she could see him every night as she rode her silver chariot across the sky.

That is the version that everyone knows more or less... this version is bullshit. Originally, Greek mythology did NOT include the council of 12 gods and goddesses. It WAS all centered around three goddesses for a task. Either Artemis (the maiden), Hera (the mother), and Hecate (the crone) or Artemis (the beginning), Demeter (the growth), and Hecate (death). Then a new religion appeared, the put down women. They added male gods to the female ones maintain control and to create the Greek gods and goddesses we know and love. But this story was created to tame the wild maiden Artemis. But... in every legend there is... some truth.

Here is the real story. From the point of view of the Goddess herself.

There are some days, where you wish that you had never gotten out of bed in the morning. Right? This is one of those days. First of all, I had lost a prey last night. I had been hunting it for HOURS, when in storms this tall, muscled, gold eyed, black haired, tanned... brute tries to "win my affection" and scares off my prey. So, I go back to camp with nothing to show for myself. When all of a sudden, HE shows up again.

"Hey, wait up! I just want to talk!" He says.

"Just get away from me!", i hiss at him to show my irritation towards him.

"Just talk to me and I'll leave you alone." He said. "I am Orion. And you are?"

"I am the Goddess Artemis. And YOU should be careful of who you order. I am capable of killing you without breaking a sweat.", this man was starting to annoy me.

"Oh, nice. I have been looking for a girl who could keep pace with me." I could feel color rising to my face. This should not be possible, I am the maiden goddess!

"Leave me alone or I will turn you into a deer and hunt you myself!", I threatened even though i knew it was a bluff, he interests me in a way. i am the maiden goddess what am i thinking.

"If you were going to, you would have done it already." He says confidently as more color rose to my face.

"LEAVE AND NEVER RETURN!", I didn't like the feeling tat came with his presence.

We spent about three weeks together. They were good weeks. We hunted, we joked, we laughed. We became the best of friends in a seemingly impossible time. But it didn't last. You see. Gaea takes a swear of a maiden very seriously. She hated that I "betrayed" my oath to stay a maiden forever. So, she sent a plague to Orion. Making him ill beyond anything I could do. He would have died. So I sent him to the stars to maintain his life. But before he left I told him what my plan was.

"I am going to make you a constellation to keep you alive. But, we will see each other again. On the night, when the moon is Blue and the planets align to the sun. Only then can you walk among men again. But only for the night. I will meet you at the Hanging Gardens of Babylon. No matter where the gods are, go to the Hanging Gardens of Babylon in the place of power. Good bye." And then he was gone.

~~3 thousands years later~~

I have waited. I have waited for so long. I waited 3 thousand long years. Now, I finally get to see him again. The moon turned a beautiful blue color. I could feel Mercury, Venus, and Sun aligning on the exact other side of the planet. It was time. Being in Montreal's Botanical Garden was interesting to say the least. It was like a forest Perice in the middle of a city. It was here that the Hanging Gardens of Babylon now resided. It was out of the reach of the gods. I could do whatever I wanted. Out of the sky, nine stars fell from the sky onto the Botanical Gardens. Where the stars fell, Orion stood.

"Miss me?" He said.

"Only every once in a blue moon." We laughed. "I did miss you, more than you'll ever know."

"I think I can guess.", Orion said as he reached for my hand and pulled me towards him.

And That is how we were born.
